I am surprised, really - I will have to see what kinds of problems the
people had. I've never had a problem, and I've been using it since I
think Drupal 4.3 or 4.4 or so.
I'll have a look to see if I can find issues with poormanscron and
whether I can reply to them - I've really had no problem whatsoever and
running it currently on more than 15 sites, of which two send out
mailing lists, and all are fully operational.
